Kinman pickups group buy

OK. I have an answer from Chris Kinman. Basically it boils down to buying power - the more we can buy as a group, the higher the discounts (see below). We need an order of at least $1000 (at retail price, before discount) to even get our foot in, which is approximately four sets of pickups. Minimum Order at List price: US Dollar Euro Discount $ 1000 € 800 10% $ 2000 € 1600 15% $ 4000 € 3200 20% $10000 € 8000 30% $15000 €12000 35% $20000 €16000 40% Note that these figures exclude shipping and remember that a group buy will likely make international shipping cheaper (offset slightly by the need for local packaging and shipping). I won't add any markup or anything on - whatever it costs is what you'll pay. I'm probably not even going to order anything myself this time. SO... First thing we have to do is see how much serious interest we have here. To this end, please reply below with what you would like to order and the retail value in Euros. Then we can tot that up and see where we stand. Remember that it'll take a month at least (probably more like two) before we can get everything ready to order, so you will have time to save up. Also, FYI Chris is adding more products to his lineup soon: * A Strat pickup with ultra high output that sounds like a P-90, * Ditto for a Tele bridge pickup, great for neck humbucker installs. * Two humbuckers, one with a single coil vibe similar to a P-90 but with more power. * A non-aged noiseless Strat pickup called the Impersonator 54. This is already on his site.

Have contacted Chris to enquire about the ETA on the humbuckers and report the site issues. Should have an answer tomorrow.

Any news ...?

I've got some time earmarked for this week (from Tuesday).

Looks like we sorted out the web site problems (although I couldn't log in for a couple of weeks after they sorted it out - and because of the message system being the only way to contact Chris, couldn't contact him about it) - please let me know if you still have any issues.

No ETA on the Humbuckers. As always with Kinman, he'll release them when he's happy with them, so could be a few months yet. He's also planning a P90 Tele bridge sized pickup BTW.

Bump ?

Looks like he's almost ready with the humbuckers, so it would be a good time to resurrect this buy. I'm just waiting for a price on the humbuckers so I can post it.
